To the Honorable 

SENOR DON RAFAEL LARRAIN, 

President of the Board of Directors of the Second Interna- 
tional Exposition of Chile, 

SANTIAGO. 

Sir: To fulfill my last duty as Manager of the International 
Exposition of Chile, for the Pacific States of the North 
American Union, I have the honor to lay before you my re- 
port, which here follows. 

It fully sets forth the result of my labors, extending over a 
period of eighteen months, and contains also a synopsis of 
trade between Chile and the United States, Chile and Cali- 
fornia, and other valuable statistics relative to the Republic 
of Chile. 

This work has been prepared more especially for the 
people of this coast, who have taken great interest in the 
Exposition, to which it particularly refers. 
I have the honor to be, Sir, 

Your obedient servant, 

FRANCISCO 2° CASANUEVA, 

Consul General of Chile, San Francisco. 



REPORT 

OF THE 

CONSUL GENERAL OF CHILE, 

FOR THE PACIFIC COAST OF THE UNITED STATES, 
(Residing at San Francisco,) 

AS MANAGEK IN THE JURISDICTION OP HIS CONSULATE, 

OF THE 

INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION OF CHILE, 

FOR 1875. 



Having completed my labors on the 30th of July last, I 
now gladly comply with the double duty of furnishing a full 
account thereof to the Directors of the Exposition and to the 
Contributors, as well as to the general public. Sixteen 
months ago I received from the Directors of the Exposi- 
tion, the appointment of Manager of the Exposition for the 
Pacific Coast, and I am happy to say that my efforts 
have been crowned with a very gratifying success. A num- 
ber of the principal exhibitors were desirous of having me 
represent them at the Exposition; my duties here, however, 



6 

did not permit me to absent myself, and I officially introduced 
the well known firm of Messrs Cross & Co., of this city, for 
the purpose of representing said exhibitors. The proprietors 
of the Journal of Commerce of this city requested me to ex- 
tend to them also, the privilege of representing exhibitors at 
the Exposition. I granted their request, and they delegated 
Mr. W. C. Quinby, who left for Santiago some time since to 
represent those of the exhibitors who entrusted their business 
to his charge. I will here add that this Consulate is in no 
way responsible for the acts of any agent representing exhibi- 
tors at tbe^Exposition, which fact it made public in due time, 
but I am very happy to state that the above named agents 
deserve great -praise for their energy and for the facilities 
afforded to the exhibitors. I at first determined to take 
charge of no articles destined for the Exposition, preferring 
to have it done by the agents chosen by the exhibitors them- 
selves, but I was compelled to do so in some cases, because a 
number of exhibitors refused to make any shipment except 
under my special charge; in such instances I was, so to say, 
forced to waive my determination, which I did, with the ob- 
ject of advancing the success of the Exposition and a desire 
to accommodate the public. 

All goods shipped in my care are in the special charge of 
the Hon. Carlos E. Casanueva, of Santiago. 

I can safely say that all in my power has been done to 
facilitate shippers, and at the same time to comply with the 
wishes of the managers of the Exposition at Santiago. 

Chile was the first country on the Pacific Coast to prove 
the practicability*©! International Expositions, and inaugu- 
rated its first one in 1869. The present one will be of much 
greater importance, and will, besides stimulating trade be- 
tween Chile and other countries, show the extraordinary ad- 
vancement she has made since 1869, which will be grati- 
fying to all friendly nations. 

San Francisco, no doubt, will be the next to inaugurate an 



7 

International Exposition, which, from her position on the 
great highway to the "far east" will be very successful. 

When, at the beginning of my labors, I requested and 
urged manufacturers and merchants to make shipments to the 
Exposition, a number of them were of the opinion that Chile 
was too far away, and that it would be very difficult to estab- 
lish direct trade with her. 

A perusal of statistical information in regard to the present 
trade of Chile, soon dissipated these doubts and fears, and, 
as my report shows, the shipments from here have been quite 
large, in fact, much beyond the most sanguine expectations 
of many. 

The young State of California will be very favorably repre- 
sented at the "Exposition," and will reap a rich harvest in 
the future. 

Chile being considered the most enlightened and progres- 
sive of all South American Republics, a brief description of 
the country will not be out of place here. 

GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION. 

Chile is situated in the southern portion of South America, 
between the 24th and 57th degree of south latitude. On the 
north it is bounded by the great Atacama desert on the 24th 
degree of south latitude, on the east by the highest peaks of 
the Andes Mountains to the 34th degree of south latitude, 
from this point by the Rio Diamante and Rio Negro to the 
Atlantic Ocean. Then by the Atlantic Ocean to Cape Horn, 
then by the Pacific on the west to the 24th degree of south 
latitude before mentioned. The pending question of boundary 
between Chile and the Argentine Republic, which both 
governments have decided to submit to arbitration, in my 
opinion, only affects the northern boundary of Chile, the other 
boundaries being beyond dispute. 

The reader may observe that the above description is very 



8 

lengthy, but will admit that it sets forth very precisely, the 
area of the Republic of Chile. 

POPULATION. 

In the year 1844, the population numbered 1,084,000 

In " " 1854, " « " 1,450,000 

In " " 1864, " " " 1,825,000 

In " " 1873, " " « 2,070,000 

The above numbers were actually taken. A considerable 
allowance must be made, however, for the difficulty of ob 
taining correct returns in the thinly settled and mountainous 
district of the country. 

Hence it is safe to say, that the population at the present 
writing, numbers over 2,250,000; and, as seen from the above 
table, is steadily increasing. 

CLIMATE — SOIL. 

The climate of Chile is similar to that of Central Europe. 
Of course, in the extreme southern portion of the republic, 
it is colder, but there are no extremes, they being modified 
by the continual breezes from the ocean. The seasons are 
entirely reversed to those of the northern hemisphere, our 
winter months being the summer months in the southern 
hemisphere. It is very salubrious, entirely free from epi- 
demics; and if longevity is any proof of a healthy climate, 
Chile can boast of having among its inhabitants, some of the 
oldest people of the earth, and can offer the record of 
numerous deaths at over 100 years. 

The soil of Chile is very fertile; and the numerous streams 
coming from the mountains, offer whenever necessary, all 
the facilities for irrigating purposes. 

PRODUCTIONS. 

As before stated, the soil of Chile is very fertile. Agricul- 
ture is in a very advanced state, and is carried on to a great 



9 

extent with improved machinery. The principal productions 
are wheat, barley, hemp, flax, silk, and all the vegetables and 
fruits of the temperate zone. Wheat and barley are grown 
in very large quantities, and are exported to Europe, where 
they meet with a ready market. As an instance, I will state, 
that during the year 1872, the exportation of cereals was as 
follows: 

504,577,758 litres, equal to about l^OOC^OOO^bushels wheat. 
62,973,661 litres, equal to about 1,800,000 bushels barley. 

And during that year, the entire export of produce, 
amounted to $12,108,698. Another great source of wealth 
for Chile, are her silver and copper mines. Among the silver 
mines, those of the Copiapo, Huasco and Florida, are the 
richest. The copper mines are very extensive. To show 
the great importance of the mining interests of Chile, it will 
suffice to state, that during the year 1873 the total amount 
of general. exports, amounted to $38,810,271. The export of 
copper alone, amounted to $12,941,600, and that of silver, to 
$3,069,703. Coal, iron, gold quartz and gravel mines are 
also plentiful. The iron mines, however, are not as yet ex- 
tensively worked. From 1842 to 1872, 30 years, the total 
amount of precious metals exported from Chile, was $201,- 
826,240. 

One of the principal objects of the Exposition, is to forward 
the manufacturing, mining and agricultural interests of the 
country; and it is hoped that the exhibiting of foreign inven- 
tions and productions, will contribute greatly to that result. 

MEANS OF TRAVEL. 

There are about 1300 miles of railway in operation in the 
Eepublic at the present time, and about 212 miles in course 
of construction. The greater portion of these railroads is 
the property of the State, those in the Korth only being 
private enterprises. Telegraphic communication is also well 
extended in the Republic, there being 3200 miles in active 



10 

operation, connecting with lines to all parts of the world. By 
sea, Chile is in frequent steam communication with European 
and American ports. Valparaiso, 100 miles from Santiago, 
the Capital, is the principal port of the Republic, and the 
chief port of South America. There are several steamship 
lines, both Chilean and foreign, plying between Valparaiso 
and Panama, touching at all intermediate ports, and other 
lines running direct to Europe, via the Straits of Magellan. 

COMMERCIAL — FINANCIAL. 

Chile has a number of financial and industrial establish- 
ments conducted on the joint stock principle. The most im- 
portant are the following : — 

Nominal Capital. Paid up Capital. 

Issue and Discount Banks $75,000,000 $18,000,000 

Railroads, (Private Companies.) 15,923,000 15,000,000 

Navigation Companies... 6,946,000 4,051,000 

Fire and Marine Insurance Cos 14,000,000 1,300,000 

Saltpetre Companies 3,700,000 2,734,000 

Mining Companies 22,200,000 14,660,000 

Other Industrial Companies 6,503,000 4,390,000 

$144,272,000 $61,135,000 

These companies having been very judiciously conducted 
enjoy the confidence of the general public at home, and 
of all financial institutions abroad. 

The total debt of the Republic on the 1st of January, 
1874, amounted to $48,149,850. The greater part of this 
was incurred for the building of railroads, telegraphs, moles, 
and Government warehouses, the railroads alone costing 
§31,925,000. 

The following are the foreign loans contracted by Chile — 

all English. 

In 1842 £ 318,400 
In 1858 1,188,900 
In 1866 922.600 
In 1867 1,721,000 
In 1870 936,300 
In 1873 2,276,500— £7,363,700, or §36,818,500. 



11 

The English loans originally amounted to £9,721,420, but 
£2,357,720 has been repaid. 

ANNUAL REVENUE OF CHILE. 

The following is a summary of the annual revenue since 
1833, showing the increase of every decade. 
1833 § 1,770,661 
1843 3,001,230 

1853 5,552,485 

1863 6,588,505 

1873 15,265,531 

During 1873, the revenue consisted of the following : 

Customs $8,145,353 

Monopoly of Tobacco and Playing Cards 1,580,359 

Stamps and Sundry Taxes 1,059,376 

Land Tax 646,300 

Trade Licenses 407,179 

Post Office and Telegraphs 326,494 

Railways 2,800,470 

Guano 300,000 

§15,265,531 

This, no one will deny, is proof of extraordinary develop- 
ment, and shows that the country is in a very prosperous 
condition. The expenditures for 1873 were as follows : 
Ordinary, $13,764,085, including the repayment of $1,365,045 
of the capital of loans by means of sinking funds. The extra- 
ordinary expenditure was §3,302,306 for railways, moles, etc., 
and was paid out of the loan of £2,276,500, contracted in 
that year. 

The Chileans as a class are very active and enterprising, 
and are desirous of advancing. At present there are about 
800 Public Schools in the State, and one University at 
Santiago, upon which no efforts are spared to make them 



12 

second to none in the world, thus making education the true 
basis of free government. 

EXPORTS — IMPORTS. 

Exportation from Chile is very rapidly increasing, as will 
be seen from the following summary: 

In 1853 it amounted to $14,527,156 

In 1863 « « 20,118,852 

In 1873 « " 38,810,271 

The detailed statement of the last named year is the fol- 
lowing : 

Wheat $ 5,573,610 

Other agricultural products 8,703,708 

Copper 12,941,600 

Silver 3,069,703 

Coal and Lime 279,725 

Sundries 8,241,925 

Total $38,810,271 

Over one-half of this, say $19,398,289, was exported to- 
Great Britain, including 3,000,000 bushels of wheat and about 
40,000 tons of fine copper. 

The total imports during the same year amounted to 
$37,928,427, of which Great Britain furnished $18,475,116, 
showing conclusively that Chile, up to that time traded 
more with Great Britain than with any other nation. 

As the United States in general and California in particular 
will be very well represented at the Exposition, it is reason- 
able to hope that a portion of this vast commerce will soon be 
diverted to this coast. 

I feel fully convinced that a number of commodities now 
manufactured on this coast, machinery especially, will find a 
ready market in Chile and other countries in South America, 
and the Chilean Exposition will not only extend the commer- 
cial relations of this coast with Chile alone, but also with many 



13 

other countries of the South Pacific. Besides, the numerous 
views of Californian scenery sent for exhibition will surely in- 
duce Chilean tourists to visit this coast, and, instead of visiting- 
Europe by the way of Panama, they will take advantage of 
our great transcontinental Railroad, stopping in California long 
enough to visit our city, our watering places, the " Big 
Trees," the world renowned " Yosemite," and the numerous 
other natural curiosities and beauties of California and the 
Pacific slope in general. 

TRADE BETWEEN CHILE AXD THE UNITED STATES. 

In the fiscal year ending June 80th, 1874, the United States 
exported to Chile merchandise amounting to §2,813,990, of 
which in domestic goods, §2,730,617, and foreign goods re- 
exported, §83,373. 
Daring the same year Chile exported to the U. S. §666,560. 
The most important items are: 

Hides and Skins § 36,917

During the year of 1874, the value of goods imported into 
the Port of San Francisco, and ports on Puget Sound, 
from Chilean Ports, amounted to $63,709, and consisted of the 
following articles:

$63,709 $63,709 

During the fiscal year 1873, the entire trade between Chile 



15 

and the United* States, amounted to $2,939,181; in the year 
1874, it amounted, as set forth above, to $3,480,550, showing 
an increase for 1874, of $541,369. 

For the years 1868, 1869, 1870 and 1871, the total trade 
between Chile and California, amounted to $1,301,618. 

In 1872, California imported from Chile, $103,057, and ex- 
ported to Chile, $84,193, showing in favor of Chile, $18,864. 

In 1873, California imported from Chile, merchandise, 
valued at $76,693, and exported to Chile, $98,417, showing in

TONNAGE MOVEMENT BETWEEN SAN FRANCISCO AND CHILE. 

During the years 1868, 1869, 1870, 1871, the tonnage 
movement from Chile to San Francisco, was 18,903 tons; and 
that from San Francisco to Chile, 34,535, showing a balance of 
15,632 tons in favor of California. 

From 1872 to 1873, 21 vessels, 13,707 tons, arrived at San 
Francisco from Chile; and during the same period, 18 vessels, 
10,500 tons, arrived in Chile from San Francisco, showing a 
balance of 3,207 tons, in favor of Chile. I will observe, that 
the tonnage movement between this port and Chile, is entirely 
out of proportion with regard to the quantity of merchandise 
shipped either way. This is in consequence of a number 



16 

of vessels which come thence, and sail hence in ballast, in 
search of freights and charters. 

It may also be, that vessels are sometimes chartered to carry 
a cargo from an Atlantic port to Chile, and are afterwards 
chartered to carry a return cargo from this port, as it is a 
frequent occurrence for vessels to arrive here from Europe 
with a cargo, and prior to their arrival here, are already en- 
gaged to carry a cargo from some other port to Europe.

VISITORS TO THE EXPOSITION FROM SAN FRANCISCO. 

The records of the Pacific Mail|Steamship Company show 
only 25 through passengers, to say, those purchasing through 
tickets at the office of the said Company. 

I am positive that upwards of 150 persons left here for 
Chile; the majority of them, no doubt, purchased tickets to 
Panama only, preferring to choose between the different 
steamship lines at Panama to reach their destination.

hibitors 9 36,776 23 

Value of goods owned by other than San

The amount of space engaged by exhibitors at the Consu- 
late General of Chile, under my charge, both in the palace 
of the Exposition, and in the park, is upwards of 50,000 feet. 
I am indebted to the following gentlemen, for donations of 
different articles for the Exposition. 

To J. Davies, Esq., Surveyor General of Nevada — A map 
of the Comstock Lode. 

Adolph Sutro, Esq. — Books, papers and models, relative 
to the Sutro Tunnel, Nevada. 

Messrs. Warren & Co. .of Portland, (Or.) — One case of 
salmon in tins. 

Messrs. James Laidlaw & Co., Portland, Or. — One case of 
salmon in tins. 

John S. Hittel, Esq., San Francisco — A copy of his work, 
" The Resources of California," to be presented to the Uni- 
versity of Chile, after the close of the Exposition. 

J. S. Hittel, Esq., San Francisco — A copy of his work, 



25 

"The History of Culture," to be given to the University of 
Chile. 

F. D. Atherton, Esq., San Francisco — 4 volumes "Noticias 
de la Antigua y Nueva California," to be given to Senor Don 
Ygnacio Dommeiko, Rector ot the University of Chile; 

Alfred Paraf, Esq., San Francisco — A sample of liquid used 
in his patent mode of irrigation; a sample of patent butter ; 
a sample of Consolidated Virginia ore; a bar of bullion ex- 
tracted by his patent process — to be delivered to Don Diego 
A. Sutil, of Santiago and Copiapo. 

Messrs. Knox & Osborn, San Francisco — One drawing of 
Quicksilver Furnace; one model of Quicksilver Furnace; di- 
rection in regard to the construction of Knox & Osborne's 
Furnaces — to be delivered to Don Diego A. Sutil, of Santiago 
and Copiapo. 

I have succeeded in making a' large collection of mineral 
specimens from California, Nevada and Oregon, to be placed 
in the Exposition, which will serve to show the immense 
mineral wealth of the Pacific slope. To make this collection 
as complete as I at first contemplated, would have required 
all my time, and, taking into consideration the numerous du- 
ties of this Consulate, it was impossible for me to absent my- 
self from the city for any length of time. Nevertheless, I 
made a hurried trip to Virginia City, (Nev.), and Grass Val- 
ley, (Cal.), to gather some specimens and information gene- 
rally, which latter will be the subject of a special report to 
the Managers of the Exposition at Santiago. I owe sincere 
thanks to the following gentlemen, both for valuable speci- 
mens, co-operation and information: 

His Excellency Newton Booth, Gov. California. 

His Excellency L. R. Bradley, Gov. Nevada. 

His Excellency L. F. Grover, Gov. Oregon. 

Hon. James Otis, Mayor of San Francisco. 

Jno. J. Valentine, Esq., Supt. of Wells, Fargo & Co. 

Messrs. Taylor & Cox, former agents Pacific Mail S. S. Co.

I will also state that, at the request of the Chilean Govern- 
ment and through the kind endeavors of Dr. H. R. Linderman, 
Director of the Mints of the United States, the Hon. Hamilton 
Fish, Secretary of State, caused to be sent to the Exposition 
a collection of United States coins, medals, and photographic 
views of the principal government buildings of the United 
States. 

An official Catalogue and General Report of the Exposi- 
tion will be published at Santiago, setting forth very fully all 
the exhibitors and contributors to the Exposition from all 
parts of the world; when completed it will be distributed 
through the different Consulates of the Republic of Chile 

To persons desirous of visiting the Exposition I will say 
that the following reductions have been made in the prices 
of passage by the different steamship lines on the Pacific: 

PACIFIC MAIL S. S. CO. 

From San Francisco to Panama, regular First Cabin 

fare $90 00 

Reduced to.. 67 50 

(No reduction for steerage passengers.) 
On tickets for the round trip, good for six months, a reduc- 
tion of 35 per cent, on regular rates will be made. 

THE SOUTH AMERICAN S. S. CO. 

From Panama to Valparaiso, regular fare, 1st Cabin.. .$200 00 

Reduced to 150 00 

For the round trip from Panama to Valparaiso and 

return, the fare will be 227 00 



30 

THE PACIFIC STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. 

From Panama to Valparaiso, regular fare, 1st Cabin. .$250 00 

Reduced to , 162 00 

Regular fare, Steerage 80 00 

Reduced to. 52 00 

The trip from San Francisco to Valparaiso is usually made 
in from thirty-five to forty days, so that there is yet ample 
time to reach Santiago at the most agreeable season of the 
year and when the Exposition will offer the greatest attrac- 
tions. 

F6r the invalid, the tourist and the artist, no better oppor- 
tunity for health, pleasure and study can be offered. The 
sea trip in itself is very interesting. The numerous cities on 
the coast, especially to the south of Panama, offer a complete 
panoramic chain, continually changing, to say nothing of the 
magnificent mountain scenery which is surpassed in no part of 
the world.
